Cannot trigger method updated Vue lifecycle

[ghost]

Version

1.0.0-beta.11

Reproduction link

https://github.com/dungla4/vue-test-utils-vuex-router

Steps to reproduce

• Clone repo then run: npm install or yarn install
• Run command: npm test or yarn test

What is expected?

Should call updated Vue lifecycle method and print in log

What is actually happening?

Not trigger updated method, just trigger mounted method

---

Normally, updated is triggered when template is changed. I tried to change data by wrapper.setData, or set data directly via wrapper.vm.msg = .. but no luck. This function works well if you run project by command yarn start and click some link at the bottom of page

@eddyerburgh
In real Vue, When vm._watcher.sync is true, updated hook is not called.
Do you think when vm._watcher.sync is true, updated hook should be called in Vue Test Utils?

[eddyerburgh]

No, I think the solution is to either make a change to Vue core, or reimplement update. Changing the render watcher to sync has caused bugs that can't be fixed without changes to Vue core, or hacky code.

Thank you for reply.
I think in order to solve this problem which updated hook is not executed when sync mounting option is true,
it is necessary to let Vue instance to do different behavior from the real Vue instance.

If you are not resolving this issue currently,
I think I try to resolve this issue.

Even if the behavior is different,
I think it is better to call updated hook synchronously when vm._watcher.sync is true.

Ok, that would be great if you could investigate. I'd be interested to see a solution. I'm going to investigate changing Vue core to add a sync option this weekend so we can compare solutions 👍

I am sorry.
Since I have work to do on this Saturday and Sunday,
I may not be able to make deliverable.
I will make deliverable within 8 days.

That's fine, this issue might take a while to solve.

Another bug caused by setting the watcher to sync is that a listeners warning is thrown. I described the problem here, and I'm not sure there's a fix apart from setting Vue to silent while the render watcher runs, which would swallow errors.
